You're right, I *was* thinking of The Old Curiosity Shop. I'll most certainly look into Little Dorrit on the strength of your recommendation.
I did quite enjoy the Bradley Headstone arc. Are any attempts at finishing Edwin Drood worth reading, to the extent that they exist?
They exist, and are on the whole only worth reading as curiosities. Think fanfic. But I think you can enjoy the book without knowing how it ends. The openness is charming. It means you can read it as a psychological novel or a whodunnit depending on what you prefer.

I think I can safely say I'll read at least one "new" Dickens novel this year. Hopefully more.

I'm engaged in Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, for all intents and purposes, and cannot spare time.

I want to read Bleak House one day. Mainly so I can feel superior about Scots law. *NM*

Yeah, sheep aren't considered "persons" for purposes of English law, are they?

Don't forget that the southerly jurisdiction is actually "England and Wales".

But you have more of them than Wales does, even if Wales has a higher human to sheep density. *NM*

Are you telling me you've actually researched the sheep populations of Scotland and Wales?
